What is the Acquia Certified Professional Program?

The Acquia Certified Professional program is the first program in the industry providing systematic, objective assessment to validate skills and knowledge of Drupal users and Acquia partners, customers and employees in Drupal and Acquia products, technology and services.

How do I get my credentials?

By passing available exams offered through Kryterion Testing (via on-site or on-line proctored) or Acquia hosted test facilities. Those achieving a passing score will receive their credential electronically and a digital badge from the Acquia Certification Program Office. It could take 2 to 3 weeks to receive these. However, you will also be able to print out your test results that are emailed to you upon completion of the exam.

We also have the new Registry in place for validation of your credential.

How do I get certification credit in the Acquia Channel Partner program?

The credentials earned will be shared with the Acquia Channel Partner Program as needed.

Where do I find the locations to take an exam?

What does on-line proctoring mean and is there anything special that needs to be done?

You will proctored or supervised during the test taking. If there is any activity outside of normal test taking activity, a proctor will pop in on your screen to make sure everything is in order. If something does occur outside of the norm, your test could be halted.

You will need to schedule your test at least 24 hours in advance. You will need to download the Sentinel software to enable the testing environment and you will go through a set up procedure.

We recommend finding a quiet place to take the exam. Do not use a second monitor and do not use Chrome as a browser. For a browser, use IE, Firefox or Safari. You can also use Windows 7 with a virtual machine.

NOTE: A web camera is required for an online proctored exam. An external web camera is highly recommended but not required. An internal webcam is acceptable.

What do I do if I run into any problems with the test set up or registration?

There is a support number listed on the web site plus there is a Live Chat support person as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you experience technical difficulties during set-up, launch, or within your Assessment, please contact KRYTERION Technical Support at 1-877-313-2008 or 1-602-659-4679.

How can I take off the software used for the test?

The Sentinel software used for testing can be removed via the Add/Remove program in your control panel. Again, there is support from Kryterion if you run into any issues.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you experience technical difficulties during set-up, launch, or within your Assessment, please contact KRYTERION Technical Support at 1-877-313-2008 or 1-602-659-4679.

How long will it take to get my credential when I pass?

It could take 2-3 weeks but the Program Office will try to get it to you as soon as possible.

How can I get verification for my credential?

There are plans to create a registry, but in the meantime, please contact certification@acquia.com to ask for verification as needed.
